Taters

Everyone keeps asking me when the four-part harmonies and “dance-your-shoes-off music” of the fabulous “Taters” is coming back to the Waterfront Park at the Deltaville Maritime Museum & Holly Point Nature Park. Well, here they come! The Taters will headline the July 22 Groovin’ in the Park concert on the maritime park’s Waterfront Stage from 6-8 p.m. Gloucester-based folk artist Paige Melton will open the concert from 5-6 p.m. Gates open at 4 p.m. for picnicking and spot saving.

The 2017 Groovin’ in the Park season is proudly sponsored by EVB bank.

What’s up with the Taters?

Paraphrasing directly from one of their websites, I don’t think I can say it better: “The Taters present an eclectic mix of roots-rock, power-pop, country, and Americana, a sound that’s been described as “country roots-pop with the genius songwriting of 60s & 70s power-pop . . . a curious mix of Mavericks, Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Beatles” (CDBaby).
